WILLIAM T. HULSGHER, OF BATTLE CREEK, MICHIGAN, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TOFRED ERICK J. HEYSER, OF BATTLE GREEK, MICHIGAN.

TIE ATTACHMENT.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM T. HUL- SCHER, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at the city of Battle Creek, county of Calhoun, Stateof Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in TieAttachments, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in neck-tie attachments.

The main objects of this invention is to provide an improved neck-tieattachment, which, when applied to a tie, enables the ready adjustmentof thesame in a turn-down collar.

Further object, and objects relating to structural details, willdefinitely appear from the detailed description to follow.

I accomplish the objects of my invention by the devices and meansdescribed in the following specification.

The invention is clearly defined and pointed out in the claims.

A structure embodying the features of my invention is clearlyillustrated in the accompanying drawing, forming a part of thisspecification, in which,

Figure 1 is a erspective view of a collar with a portion of the innerfold broken away to show my invention in its operative position on a tieand in a collar. Fig. 2 is an en: larged cross section through a tiewith my improved attachment applied thereto, taken on a linecorresponding to line 22 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the-twoparts of my im roved attachment.

11 the drawing, similar numerals of reference refer to similar partsthroughout the several views.

Referring to the drawing, my improved tie attachment consists of a pairof plates 1 r and 2, which are preferably formed of celluloid or otherthin material, )referably transparent celluloid. These plates arepreferably formed with enlargements 3 and 4, re-

spectively, at each end, the enlargements 3- of the plate 1 havinglongitudinal slots 5 therein, while the enlargements 4 of the plate 2are provided with tongues 6 adapted to be engaged in these slots,thereby detachably securing the plates upon a tie, as 7. My improvedattachment is particularly de- Specification of Letters Patent.

of the binding of the collar thereon, thus not only making it difficultto satisfactorily tie and adjust the tie in tying, but also ties arefrequently pulled out of sha e and ruined by strain necessarily appliedt ereto in adjusting them in the collar.

With my improved attachment, which is placed centrally of the bandportion of the tie and centrally of the collar at the back, thetie slipsfreely with the plates or between the plates, thus enablm its ready andeasy adjustment in the col ar without injury thereto.

By constructing the attachment as I have illustrated in the accompanyingdrawing, it is very economical to produce and maybe uickly applied. Itis obvious, however, that other means might be readily devised inconnecting the plates, but, as such means will be obvious to a skilledmechanic, I do not here illustrate the same.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire tosecure byLetters Patent is:

1. A tie attachment comprising a pair of plates having enlargements attheir ends, the enlargements of one plate having longitudinal slotstherein, and the enlargements of the other having tongues on their sidesadapted secured upon a tie arranged between the same.

3. A tie attachment comprising a pair of plates, said plates havingcoacting tongues and slots formed therein whereby they may be secured toeach other upon a tie arranged between the same.

4. A tie attachment comprising a pair ofplates, and means for detachablysecuring said plates together at their edges whereby they 'are securedupon a tie arranged between the same.

5. A tie attachment comprising a pair of plates, and means for securingsaid plates to- In witness whereof, I have hereunto set gether at theiredges whereby they are semy hand and seal in the'presence of two wit- 10cured upon a tie arranged getween the same% nesses.
